When bodies move, hearts follow

Considered one of China's leading classical dancers at the peak of her glittering career, dancer-choreographer Liu Yan severely injured her vertebrae during a rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The accident left her paralyzed below the waist, and she had to bid farewell to the stage and adjust to life in a wheelchair.

However, this didn't stop the 37-year-old from continuing to dance, and trying to push the boundaries of the art form along the way.
